Markia L. Henry, 131 Main St., was arraigned Tuesday on an alleged 1:41 p.m. solicitation in the parking lot of National Bakery in Scranton.

Henry approached a patrolman in plain clothes as he was exiting the business and said to him, "I know you have money, do you want to buy me lunch?", according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.

The patrolman said he "was not interested," to which she allegedly replied: "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Henry showed him pictures of herself in provocative poses, wearing provocative clothing, and added: "This is what you can have," police said.

The patrolman, who was with a Lackawanna County deputy sheriff in an undercover car, asked her about oral sex, and Henry made an offer of $300 in exchange for the sexual act on both of them, police said.

Henry allegedly said: "I have a place up the road."

After she said this, the patrolman showed his badge and identified himself as a Scranton police officer, causing Henry to yell, "No, no, no," as well refusing to put her hands behind her back.

After a brief struggle, she was taken into custody.

On June 8, Henry allegedly offered oral sex for $50 to an undercover city detective in an incident in Scranton.

Before that offer was made, the undercover detective told her, "I'm looking to party," in which she replied, "Oh, you looking to party, me too," according to the criminal complaint.

After the alleged offer was made, she was taken into custody.

Henry was in Lackawanna County Prison on Wednesday on $20,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing has been set for July 6.
